How to Use YuLife to Support Women in the Workplace

As we approach International Women’s Day, it’s crucial to reflect on the role of women in the workplace and the support systems in place to nurture their wellbeing. 

Despite strides toward gender equality — there’s still a long way to go. 

In fact, research conducted by CIPD reveals that 69% of women have faced difficulties at work due to menstrual symptoms, yet many workplaces lack the necessary support structures. 

Especially when it comes to women’s health, motherhood and navigating the male-dominated financial space, there’s much more that workplaces can do to empower them and help them thrive in their careers. 

In this blog post, we'll delve into three impactful ways the YuLife employee app can be used to support women in your workplace while promoting inclusivity and empowerment.

1. Stella for Menopause App 

Menopause support in the workplace is vital, especially when 1 in 10 women report needing to leave their jobs due to menopausal symptoms.

Access to comprehensive resources and education on women’s health issues is key. That’s why access to Stella's menopause app is available as part of YuLife’s package. 

The app was created by a group of women who are experts in the field, who had a goal to support women better by teaching them about menopause and offering them resources to help them manage their symptoms better.

Resources like the Stella app empower women to understand their bodies better and navigate through various health stages with confidence. Because not only do they foster a supportive work environment — but also contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding women’s health topics.

2. Hertility

Some 1 in 7 couples struggle with infertility, and 2/3 of people have at least one imbalanced hormone that affects their fertility. We brought Hertility onto the YuLife app to help close this gap for the women who use the YuLife app. 

Hertility was started by a group of women in the field who got together to build a product that helps women better understand their hormone health and fertility, as well as get access to leading reproductive health experts with at-home fertility testing kits. 

These are all significant concerns for many women, yet access to specialised consultations and testing can be limited. Apps like this are vital to help women proactively manage their reproductive health, make informed decisions, and seek necessary support when needed. 

3. FemaleInvest

Female Invest has one goal: to educate and empower women to take control of their finances and to live life on their own terms.

They’ve built a membership platform that has already brought together more than 50,000 women across 100+ countries, and we’ve partnered with them on the YuLife app to provide financial learning and resources that are targeted toward women and make women feel empowered to enter the space. 

Gender disparities persist in financial literacy and investment opportunities. However, financial wellbeing is a vital part of holistic wellbeing in the workplace — especially with 80% of people feeling financial stress.

With financial education and resources like Female Invest, women can feel empowered to take control of their finances.
